brain tumor+operation+70-something years old...hummm i pray the operation is a success, but it would not suprise me if he retires from everything and enjoys the rest of the days he has been given.

Thanks for the comment on my blog. I saw on your bio that your favorite book is the Autobiography of Malcolm X - I had the privilege of having dinner with Attilah Shabazz in Madrid once. She invited us to sit down with her and we were an hour into dinner before we figured out who she was. She was amazing, so gracious and sweet and funny. She told us to order some chicken on the menu that was so good and she said that her daddy used to say food like that would make your leg jiggle like a dog having his tummy rubbed. So whenever I think of something delicious I imagine Malcolm X saying "That's so good, it makes your leg shake." Reminds me that after all, he was just a normal, silly dad with his kids - like most men are.

Anyway, just felt like sharing that with you. Happy Wordless Wednesday!

He must have changed a lot since 1971 ! when he was involved in so many scandals, lol ! We haven't heard very much ever since in Europe about him. I remember when he stayed with his wife Joan in the Brussels Hilton and the waiters had all the troubles of the world with them because they were completely drunken every night ! He even bumped into a window and cut his forehead !

Sen. Kennedy's "passing of the torch" to the Man he feels is most suited to be the next President of the United States, Barack Obama (a man of mixed heritage), will go down in My history book along the greatest of other selfless acts of the "Liberal Lion" on behalf of the American people!

Gattina - All of us change between our early 20s and our golden years. Ted Kennedy is no different. I don't know about his drinking and such ... but, he is currently thought to be the best United States Senator in the past 50 years ... and perhaps in the top five all-time for all US Senators that we've had in the 200+ years of our nation's existance.

Yes...he evolved and changed. I imagine that having your two brothers assassinated would have that impact on any of us...
